    Ian Thorpe is a great pundit and ridiculously camp to boot!

    So what.

    I heard about his campiness from an Australian where he is treated like royalty. He also has his own jewellery and fashion line. He has said he is heterosexual. So maybe.

    But he is a good pundit and this is London 2012 not London 1948.

    Don't think he meant it in an insulting way...

    Anyone know if our canoeist has gone?

    Women's artistic gymnastics coming up on BBC3 at a quarter to. This is the third subdivision and is one of the most exciting as it features the favourites, USA. GB are in it too and they have a great shot of qualifying for Team Finals.

    Murray coming up in tennis now. Major question marks though over why they are not showing action from court one where Djokovic is in action

    Is there only one race? Or how does it work?

    There's 10 races altogether. I think you score points based on where you place in each race and they're added together with the best 10 teams going into the final medal race.

    Our canoeist did well, he's in the lead for now.

    Not much it lets you know if something is on, not where.

    You still have to scan all 24 channels to spot the sport or find one showing listings and wait while it scrolls around.


    They have the listings but are hiding them very, very well.

    Canoeist in second at the moment, apparently he is contesting the 2 point penalty he recieved as he feels it was incorrect. That'll put him into first afaik. Still some competitors to run however.

    I hope the Russian can keep up with the leaders - she made that break away group - deserves a medal!

    Some sponsors and media people haven't shown up to use their allocated tickets but it's still not surprising to see so empty seat at some Olympic events like swimming and football .If you don't offer the tickets before to the general public at a reasonable price then what do you expect .
